Continuing Work on the Shed

On Thursday we made quite a bit of progress. In the morning I started with installing blocking between the rafters while my dad added some framing for installing z-flashing and siding on the ends of the shed.





From there, we installed the z-flashing and finished with getting the rest of the siding installed on the ends.







As we finished with this step, the "inspector" came out and put her stamp of approval on what we were doing.



Now we were ready to mark the ends of the rafters with a chalk line and cut them off so they were all even. In the next two pictures you can see my dad drawing the vertical lines after we marked them and I follwed him with the saw and cut them off.





At this point, we were ready to start putting up the sheating on the roof. We got this installed fairly fast as I cut and handed the pieces up and my dad screwed them down.







We managed to finish all the roof sheating just before dark.
